1-22-10 Naked Sparrow
the cold is eating my soul
black blood seeping from my eyes
gouged out i no longer see
within this swarming darkness
helpless
i claw at my face
go away! and just leave me alone!. . .
im sitting here in ragged twilight
id try to cover my body naked beneath these torn raggs
only im too busy flailing in the black
screaming out to the endless night like a banchee
my voice no more distinguishable from an animal
never to its listeners, the walls echoing back, reverberaiting
death sounds in the stale air
let this scream excape my soul
crying and i feel ripped apart
fallen through the ice, drowning
running out of air to breath
and it seems no one can save me
